"Our Greatest Vulnerability is that We're Complete Morons Willing to Spend Unlimited Amounts of Time Developing Insane Theories About Trivia" Part II



Remember that exclusive "African Press International" story? Where Michelle Obama was supposed to have given a Hate Whitey interview to a press organization manifested in a cheap-looking wordpress site? Fortunately, it's all been explained:

The circle was completed by Jammie Wearing Fool, who suggested that the API report may be "a clever bit of astroturfing by the Obama camp trying to dupe people into running with bogus information." (Why would they bother?)

Yes. That must be it. Although I can't argue with the proposition that right blogosphere is very, very easily duped.

Meanwhile, for bonus fun we can also see the Corner going back to the anonymous letter writer/apocryphal cab driver or cocktail party with sneering liberals genre. Always stick with the classics! Combining the two is even better...
